Tom Cramer takes a break from his workday at his business, Cramer Flooring, in the days leading up to Christmas. Cramer, 46, said his favorite part of the holiday season has been getting the chance to do some good for fellow community members.

“A lot of people know my story as a recovering meth addict, so I’d say getting clean for my family and learning to be a husband, father and community member.

“My wife and I have done some things anonymously for people (for Christmas), which has been kind of cool. Just the fact that we’ve been blessed with a lot of business has allowed us to do that.

“Alaska. I’d want to see it all. I’m just outdoorsy, so that’s why I’d want to go there. It’s always been a dream of mine to go and build a cabin there and live there.

“As far as books, I like anything by John Grisham. The Bible is a good one for me, although I don’t read it near enough. There’s a movie, a documentary, I like called ‘Alone in the Wilderness’ about a guy in Alaska.

“My wife and I have talked about (what we would do with unlimited money). For our church, we’d pay off the building and probably donate a lot of the money. That’s what I wish people would think about during Christmas instead of all the materialism. It’s about Christ and we can’t even say ‘Merry Christmas’ to each other, which just makes me sad.

“Because of my past addictions, God uses that for me to help others going through that.

“Happily married. Just celebrated eight years clean. That’s about it.”
